Here are the top 3.
1. I can lie down on the couch under a blanket and watch a movie without falling asleep.
2. I can just eat one cookie. Then I will have no problem stopping.
3. I don't need to write that down; I will remember it.
Obviously, I lie to myself all year round. But of course this is Christmastime, so I'll make it seasonally applicable!
1. Is there anything quite like reclining on the couch under your favorite blanket, the only light coming from the tv and tree lights? No, I say. For some reason, I always think I can watch a movie curled up in what is essentially my favorite sleeping position. And maybe I'll just rest my eyes a moment during this slower scene. No problem. Plus, Christmas movies are just so relaxing. And comforting. And usually have at least one quiet, peaceful, snowy scene with Silent Night playing gently in the background...
2. Oh, sure. Of course it's true. If you have a craving, just eat one! Then go on your merry way, mouth filled with lingering sweetness, stomach asking for more, fingers already absentmindedly stretching towards the Santa plate. Fine, cookies. You win. I just need to make sure you all taste as good as the first one.
3. Yep, back in September she said she'd love a new toaster. But come December, do you think I remember? Oh, I might have a vague memory of him wishing aloud he had a pair of warmer gloves. But guess what? I had such confidence in my good memory that I never wrote it down. Oh, I'll rememb...what?
'Tis the season! Heh heh.

I have trouble remembering stuff the next day not months ago. I must write stuff down! I can eat one cookie but I can not eat one piece of cake, or one bowl of popcorn, or only 3 slices of pizza. The only thing that stops me sometimes is if someone else is there helping me get rid of it. That's my new diet plan... always have a friend with you to eat half the stuff.
Merry Christmas!!
